Mighty Member since April 2021
I'm a mother of two, wife of one, former collegiate gymnast, environmental health scientist, healing advocate, author, and speaker. In 2005 I ruptured a disc in my neck at age 40 by rolling over in my sleep. I had surgery a month later and have suffered with chronic myofascial pain since. By gaining an understanding of the mindbody connection, and addressing my childhood traumas, which have a significant impact on my chronic physical pain, I have healed significantly. I still have further to go, but I'll never give up hope that additional healing is possible. I've come to The Mighty to be part of a positive healing community. More of my story can be found at www.healingfromchronicpain.com or in my memoir, The Invisible Key: Unlocking the Mystery of My Chronic Pain.
